Soma: Soma 2
From pounding floor-killers to visionary experimentation, a ten-deep slice of great electronic music, once again from Soma.
Loops & Boundaries
Repeat Repeat
Minimal glitch meets post-rock. Anyone who's got the imagination to attempt that sort of shit is probably gonna pull it off. Awesome. Awesome.
Riphead v2
The Black Dog
Imagine Airports-period Eno, dancing to a woozy house beat, with a chainsaw, when a bigger, smoother beat kicks in and he starts voguing like a robot in a Daft Punk vid. Then listen to this. Yeah?
A Field
Vector Lovers
Moody bass, like plate tectonics on a Sunday night, under expansive synth and chirpy glitch, like looking at the sun through a kaleidoscope while on a comedown. Not just 'a field', really, but all sorts of attractive dimensional fields, in all directions.
The Strike Pandemonium
Lee Van Dowski
The best thing about minimal is the way it allows your imagination room to manoeuvre. Here we have the sound of digital processes, rain, or, digital rain. See?
The Snakecharmer
Silicone Soul
Standout track from the excellent 2006 album Save Our Souls: moody as Booka Shade and funky as Prince. If you don't love this, you ain't no snake bro!
Intensities (In-Ten-Cities)
Slam
It's a biggie! From ambient shallows out into loose techno panoramics, Intensities isn't afraid to announce itself as an ambitious work of glorious metropolitan romance.
Track 2
Percy X
Deep and relentless, like Leftfield on a train in a tunnel, with no sign of a light at the end.
Corporate Crimewave
Hystereo
Feisty floor-filling electro-techno, like Vitalic with the fidgets.
From Here To Space
Master H
Easy to dismiss the generic. But then you here a cut of textbook electro-house that's as joyous, funky and downright inspiring as this, and yet another cliché gets blown out the (party) window.
Robot High School
My Robot Friend
Dirty electro, restrained to the point of discipline, with dub tones and rolling bells, is just the foundation of this sinister-fun dance-pop gem of a song.
